CHANCERY COURT-WEDNESDAY SQUIRE V. CAMPBELL. This was an appeal motion to dissolve an injunction, granted ex parte by the Vice-Chancellor; and subsequently confirmed, after hearing Counsel for the defendants. The plaintiffs are Williams and Co., successors of Douglas Kin naird in the banking-house known by the name of Ransom and Co., together with a Mr. Squire, the occupier of the adjacent premises in Pall-mall East ; and tile defendants are Major-Ceneral Campbell, Sir John Campbell (the At torney-General), and others of the committee appointed to superintend the erection of the equestrian statue, by Wyatt, of his late Majesty, George the Third. It had been pro posed to erect this statue, which is of bronze, and reported to possess extraordinary merit, in the vacant space between Pall-mall East, Pall-mall, the Haymarket, and Cockspur street, and immediately in front of the banking-house. The consent of the paving board of the parish of St. Martin was obtained ; the parish authorities were anxious fertile com pletion of the work, as one of utility and ornament ; the Com missioners of Woods and Forests approved of the sites elected. and the foundation had been cleared, when the plaintiffs obtained an injunction to stop the works until they had an opportunity to indict the parties for a nuisance ; a statue in such a place being, as they alleged, likely to injure their property, and impede the access to their houses, which they bad erected with an express understanding with the Commissioners of Woods and Forests that they were to have a clear carriage -way of a hundred feet in front, to wards Cockspur-street. Sir C. WETHERELL now moved to dissolve the injunc tion, and contended that, neither on the ground of con tract, or of nuisance public or private, could the plaintiffs hope to defeat the wishes of the inhabitants of the metro polis, who were anxious to have this noble work of art erected in the spot so judiciously selected for it. At five o'clock his Lordship rose, and intimated his in tention to hear the further arguments to-morrow. THURSDAY.

LYON'S SOVEREIGNS.-- - The scullers' wager of yesterday amply compensated for the " fiat, stale, and unprofitable" affair of Tuesday. It was in every respect a splendid exhibition, eclipsing everything which has been seen for many years. On its first institution, some dozen years since, the gentlemen de termined on electing the first watermen of the day, and that of course has been pursued to the present time. There are no " lions" coming out as yet this season, and many of those who were patronised last year have hid " their diminished beads." The purse has been won by Campbell, the champion, by Nor ris, Frank Godfrey, Watts, and others of equal celebrity, and the regulations forbid that any man who has once carried away the purse shall be allowed again to contend ; but still the best remaining on the Thames are selected, and among the names of Bartlett, Phelps, and Kipping, were to be found yesterday. The patrons of river sports had given a great deal of money on this match, and Bartlett was, if anything, the fa vourite, although Phelps was nearly on a par. These two contended in a scullers wager last year, and Barlett won ; but be it remembered that there was considerable fouling. No thing particular had been booked at the respective boat builders, yet everybody was anxious of accompanying the match, should the weather by any sort of chance clear up. It did not favour the idea throughout the forenoon ; but it as sumed a livelier appearance in the afternoon, and as five o'clock approached the establishments of Messrs. Searle, Lyon, Honey and Archer, and Houlton were besieged. Every thing in the shape of craft was crowded, and they drew their " lengths" to Westminster Bridge at a quarter past five. There was no very material alteration in the betting from that which we furnished yesterday. Phelps and Bartlett were still alike, and at the time of" peeling" the odds were 2 to I against each. The others had gone back a little. At a quarter to six they had each their starting line, and looked admirably. There was not a single man out of condition, and each looked confident. At ten minutes to six the signal was given. The men had laid down for the start well, and all took it at the same instant. There was not the least want of exertion on the part of either, and they were all abreast of the Speaker's house ; but Phelps withdrawing a-head, as were Campbell, Kepping, and Bartlett, the latter of whom was " digging" to perfection. His immense power was exerted to its full extent, and he passed Campbell at Vauxhall-bridge, and tried all he knew against Phelps. Lewis had started from the worst sta tion, and had been in the stern chase; but he rowed up very hard, and went by Campbell, Elliss, and Byford. Ellis out rowed Byford, and at the Broom-house, at Battersea, they were stern and stern. Kepping had been doing wonders, and by fair rowing, without any attempt at fouling, he passed Bart ett. Phelps throughout held his way a-head beautifully. The artillery at Avis's announced the combatants in the following order : Names. Belonging to Colours. John Phelps Fulham Stripes 1 James Kepping . Hungerford Orange ...... 2 Clement Bartlett Vauxhall Purp1e......... 3 George Campbell Westminster-bridge ...White ......... 4 J. Elliss Tower Light blue ... 5 Henry Lewis Horselydown Thomas Byford Lambeth Green ......... 7 It was won by half a minute, and the three next were close together; a minute would have covered all. It was throughout a very close match, and contested with out-and -out-game-. Phelps bad No. 7, the best station ; Bartlett bad No. 2, deci dedly a very bad one ; and Kepping had No. 5. Of the rowing Kepping's was the best : he did wonders : far more than ever was expected of him. He is a very little man, and cannot pos sibly exceed ten stone ; Barlett is a giant, a complete Her cules in comparison ; he must come very near thirteen. St. Swithin favoured the gentlemen, on their return, with another visitation. A great Russian personage has gone through Brussels on his way to London and Paris. It is Count Nowo sil.zow, President of the Imperial Council, Grand Chancellor, &c. After the Emperor Nicholas he is the most eminent per sonage in Russia. The history of unhappy Poland will record tl:e share which M. Nowosiltzow took in the last events which have inflicted so deep a blow upon her nationality. He re sided at Warsaw, as Imperial Commissary to the Polish Go vernment. The motives which have determined the President of the Imperial Council to visit London and Paris must be important. Statesmen of that rank may, indeed, repair to rural residences or watering places for their health, but they do not visit the great capitals of Europe without powerful rea sons.—La Pair. Died lately, at Stoughton Lodge, near Bedford, the seat of Lieut.-Colonel Latour, of the late 23d Lancers, his grey charger, Blucher, aged twenty-seven years. This noble animal carried the Colonel during the three days at Waterloo. On his death eight balls were extracted from him ; he also bore the marks of several lance and sabre cuts. The late Philip Astley of equestrian celebrity, had a map of Germany published with his name affixed during the war, which caused much confusion to those who consulted it as authority, and to the English travellers also on the bank of the Rhine who referred to it for information, as many of the towns and principal places appear on the wrong side of the river, and not where they are actually situated. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—The benefit of Made moiselle Plcssis took place last night at this theatre, and at tracted a numerous assemblage of the beau monde. This charming actress appeared in Le Mariage Raisonnable, Estelle, and Valerie, and in each of these characters received applauses alike general and deserved. Madame Jenny Vertpre, in accordance with the general wishes of her sub scribers and the public, has renewed her engagement with Mademoiselle Plessis, whose stay here cannot, however, be long protracted, as the term of her conge is at hand, and her presence at the Theatre Francois is necessary for the produc tion of a piece in immediate preparation. The zest of last evening's entertainments was heightened by Madame Jenny Vertpre's lively performance in Zoe, ou L'Antant Prete, the same piece which, under the name of The Loan of a Lover, was last week played at this theatre by Madame Vestris. Some mystery, which it is not easy to fathom, ap pears to ban , over the present state of the Exchequer-bill market. The Bank, who hold the great bulk of these secu rities, and exercise consequently a paramount influence over the market, are not selling, so far as can be ascertained, but .lit has drooped regularly for some time past, and is now so weak, that in the opinion of the more experienced jobbers sales could not be made in them to any extent without forcing the price down to par. There is also the fact to be taken into the account which ought to operate considerably in favour of the market, that by far the greater proportion of the surplus of revenue is now laid out in the redemption of this portion of the public debt instead of stock. Nevertheless, the security declines in value to a degree which, if not checked, is likely to force on either another funding, or an increase in the rate of interest. The explanation more commonly adopted is the general rise in the value of money, which makes Exchequer bills less eligible than formerly for temporary investment ; and also the great steadiness of the 3 per Cent. Stock of late, which has made it nearly as safe for investment as Exchequer bills, so that the latter have been comparatively neglected, which would appear quite sufficient to account for the state of the market ; but there exists, nevertheless, a suspicion that large sales have been quietly effected within no distant period, in reality on account of the Bank, but so dexterously ma naged as to wear the appearance of being for different parties. It is well known that capitalists, who seldom deal in securities of that description, have been sellers of Exchequer-bills to a large extent. Whether it is or is not an operation of their own it is impossible to say, but in seeking for the cause of the weakness of that market, the suspicion has certainly fallen as above stated. There would be a convenience to the Bank in such an arrangement beyond the mere cover to the sale, for the Exchequer-bills might be made to serve the purpose of a loan to the party through whom they were sold, and yet add nothing to the amount of bank -notes in circulation. The con jecture may be unfounded, but it is a very ingenious one, and may be referred to as made by parties who have a quick eye to all the shiftings and changes of the money-market. There was a rally in the market to-day, but it can only, we suspect, be a temporary one. Morning Paper. PREROGATIVE COURT. FORD V. FORD. This was a question of propounding in solemn form of law the will of Mr. Benjamin Ford, formerly of Bath, and late of Gloucester-row, in the parish of Newington, who died on the 28th of March, 1835, aged 85, and this will was propounded by Mrs. Mary Ann Ford, the widow of Mr. Charles Ford, the son of the deceased, and opposed by Mrs. Abigail Ford, the relict of the deceased, and Frances Marychurcb, a minor, and the lawful grandchild of the deceased, who were the only parties entitled in distribution. It was opposed on the grounds of incapacity and controul. Dr. Addams appeared to support the will. Sir H. JENNER then thought that, as the costs were not pressed for on the one side, and the King's Advocate was ready to abandon his case on the other, it would be use less to enter upon any minute points. He had read the evidence, and was aware of all the proceedings ; and he was of opinion that the Court could do nothing but pro nounce for the validity of the will propounded. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—LiNcar,m, JuLr 10. CROWN COURT.—Alexandcr Milligan, aged 36, was charged, on the Coroner's Inquisition, with having, in the parish of Fordyke, killed and slain Owen, alias John, ltowlat. John Lynn sworn and examined—ls a bricklayer, living at Boston. Was out at work on the 17th of May last, and was returning towards his home on the evening of the same day with his apprentice boy, James Allen. On coming to a place known as the North Forty Foot Drain Bank, wit ness saw prisoner lying on the bank, apparently asleep. On passing him, and looking back, witness saw that Milli gan had risen up, and was running at the deceased, who retreated towards witness, the prisoner following him with a sword-stick blade in his hand, which be pointed at the deceased, who fell in his (witness's) arms. He said, " Yon tea man has stabbed me." Prisoner was a hawker of tea, and in the habit of vending in the fen country. Rowlat was a fiddler, in the practice of attending at wakes and fair s . Witness had Rowlat stripped, and found he had been wounded betwee❑ the sixth and seventh ribs. On being taken into a house, Rowlat asked to be allowed to sit down, saying he was very bad. He was then put on board an empty lighter, to be taken where medical aid might be ob tained ; but he shortly after died. The prisoner in the meantime had run away. The Learned JuDGE having summed up, the Jury imme diately returned a verdict of Guilty.—Sentence deferred. HOME CIRCUIT, MAIDSTONE, JULY 20. CIVIL SIDE.—DOMBRAIN V. WOOD. This was an action for libel. The defendant pleaded a justification. Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE stated the case. The plaintiff, Mr. James Dombrain, was Comptroller-General of the Preventive Water Guard in Ireland, and had brought the present action for two libels which appeared in the Kent herald, of which the defendant, Eliza Wood, was the part owner. The plaintiff was appointed in the year 1816 Deputy Comptroller-General of the Preventive Water Guard of England, under Captain John Martin Hanchett, the Comptroller, who was afterwards dismissed from his office, and the plaintiff subsequently was appointed to the situation, which he now filled. Captain Hanchett, very indignant at being dismissed, presented a petition to the House of Commons, which, however, had not the effect of reinstating him. and now, after a lapse of 17 years, he had given fresh vent to his irritation by the publication of the libels complained of in the journal of the defendants. The part proprietorship of the Kent Herald being in the defendant was proved, and the alleged libels were read. Mr. TIIESSIGLR then addressed the Jury for the de fendants. His LORDSHIP summed up, and the Jury, after having retired for some time, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 51. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARY.CEBONE. Yesterday Mr. George Haines attended at this office, on the part of himself, his son, and Mr. Thomas Pickard, the proprietors of a cotton manufactory at No. 13, in the Hampstead-road, to answer an information laid against the firm by Mr. Samuel Seville Kent, superintendent of mills and factories, and who resides at Salcombe Regis, near Sidmouth, Devon. The case, in consequence of its being the first which, under the Act 3d and 4th of William IV., cap. 103, has been preferred before the Magistrates, excited a consider able degree of interest, and the office was crowded for some time previous to the arrival of Mr. Hosxitr•s, at one o'clock. There were three counts in the information, which were as follow :--The first was for the offence of having worked ix child, named Henry Offer, under thirteen years of age, more than forty-eight hours in one week ; the second count set forth that the defendants had worked the said boy without having a certificate from a schoolmaster to the effect that the boy in question had for two hours at least in each of the six days in the week preceding attended at his school ; and the third count was for not keeping a proper register or time book, containing a minute of the hours at which the said Henry Offer began and ended work, during the time he had been employed at the mill or factory on the defendants' premises. The Bth clause in the Act, and which is applicable to the first-named offence, ran thus :—" And be it further enacted, that from and after the expiration of six months after the passing of this Act, it shall not be lawful fnr any person whatsoever to employ, keep, or allow to remain, in any fac tory or mill as aforesaid for a longer time than nine hours in any one day, except as herein provided, any child who shall not have completed his or 11;:r twelfth year of age, or after the expiration of thirty months from the passing of this Act any child who shall not have completed his or her thirteenth year of age, provided nevertheless that in mills for the manufacturing of silk, children under the age of thirteen years shall be allowed to work ten hours in any one day." Robert John Saunders, Esq., one of the inspectors of factories duly appointed under the provisions of the Act, sat by virtue of his office on the bench, and a gentleman from the firm of Moseley and Overbury, 13, Bedford -street, Covent-garden, attended on the part of the Factory Com missioners. Mr. RAWLINSON (to Mr. Haines)—You appear, I sup pose, for the whole of the firm? Mr. Haines—l do. Mr. RAWLINSON—Do you plead guilty or not to this information which has been laid against you ? Mr. Haines— I plead guilty, Sir ; but what I have offended in accord ing to the Act was quite unintentional, and entirely an oversight. Mr: RAWLINSON (to Air. Saunders)—Here are parties who say that they are guilty, but that they have inadvert ently offended. Did you wish to press for penalties? Mr. Saunders--I have no wish whatever to be severe, but— Mr. RAWLINS ON— F or each offence the part i es are l ia bl e to a penalty, not exceed i ng 201. Suppose, under the cir cumstances, we i n fli c t a penalty of ss. in each case ? Mr. Saunders—lf M r. Haines wishes to go below a 20 s. fine I am desirou s o f go i ng on ; but, in j ust i ce t o th e fi rm, I must say that, h av i ng v i s i ted t h e f actor y, I th in k it i s, generally speaking, well conducted. Mr. S. S. Kent was then examined ; when the defend ants were fined 20s. for the first-named offence, and upon each of the other counts 55., together with all costs. The money was paid, and the parties then left the office. KILRUSH PETTY SESSIONS. TEA-POT TWADDLE.—MISS Anne Mylan, with a smil ing, man-beguiling face, which certainly had its fair sur face unmarked by any of those well-defined scratches that too generally characterise lady warfare, charged Mrs. Jane Bluett with a grievous assault—no less than having, after a well-put-in volley of small arms, in the 'shape of tongue castigation, extracted a whole handful of the bloom ing Anne's " yellow hair," and then licked at her with that glittering indispensable to drawing-room elegance, the " polishe fender," and all because sh came and asked for her mistress's tea-pot. Mrs. Bluett did not attend, but she was represented by an eloquent and dingy-looking domestic, a Miss Crowe. " Now, Jane," quoth Anne, " you're on your oath. Did you ever see such capers ?"—(Laughter.) Crowe—Faikes, ye may laugh—(laughter)—but I seen nothin' much asthray between 'cm. Mylan—Ob, my goodness ! don't you remember how I couldn't put a rack thro' my hair (savin' your presence, gintlemen) for as good as a week afthcr it ? Sure that was bein' asthray, any way. MAGISTRATE—Come, my good girl, tell what you saw at once. Dear knows, surely, Sir, an' welcome," replied the un sophisticated Jane :—" I want me misses's tea-pot," says Anne Mylan, " welkin' into the parlour, where my own misses was at breakwhost, just knockin the top ov her se cond egg, and lookin' as mild as a sleepin' policeman.— (Laughter.) Why shouldn't she ? If your misses had manners she'd get it before,' says my misses. Oh, then, faikes,' says Ann Mylan, makin' answer, "tis wrong my misses would to play second to you in any thing f so with that they jawed a dhrass, an when I kem in they wor ma kin' over to one another, givin' word for word, as 'twould be in a church or chapel, an', to tell God's truth, my misses had a grip o' the fendher.

" Now about the fist-full o'hair you saw her dhraw from my head," said Anne Mylan soothingly. Crowe : Not a lock. If I was dying this minute I could declare I did't see you loose as much hair as would tickle a child's nose, an' meself didn't allow sthrokes to pass between ye—that's the whole of it. Mrs. B. was fined the costs.—Limerick Star. LAMBETH LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION. The first General Half-yearly Meeting of this now securely established, and eminently useful Institution, took place on Tu es d a y even i ng l ast , at t h e rooms of the Society, Wellington-terrace, Waterloo Bridge-road. There was a numerous attendance of subscribers, who consisted of some of the most respectable and opulent inhabitants of the borough. It was expected that the Chair would have been taken by the President of the Society, Benjamin Hawes, Esq., M.P. ; but as the Hon. Gentleman was unable to attend, owing to the pressure of his Parliamentary duties, JAMES BRABY, Esq., Treasurer of the Institution, kindly consented to preside on the occasion. The CHAIRMAN having in a short but neat address stated the object of the meeting, namely, to receive the Report of the Committee of Management, and proceed to the elec tion of a Librarian, concluded by calling on the Honorary Secretary to read the Report in question. The Report was then read, from which it appeared that, although the Institution had only been in active operation for five months, the number of its members amounted to nearly three hundred ; that the Archbishop of Canterbury had contributed to its funds ; that amongst its vice-pa trons were Lord Arden, the Lord Lieutenant of the county, and Lord Ki ng ; th at amongst t h e vice-presidents were Messrs. Beaufov, Clowes„ and Palmer ; that Mr. Warburton, M.P., the Rev. Dr. D'Ovley, and other emi nent individuals, and given in aid of its object handsome donations ; that with the means supplied from these va rious sources, the committee of management were not only able to supply the reading-rooms with the greater portions of the daily periodicals, and every periodical of character, but to obtain, for the benefit of the subscribers, lectures (delivered by professors of reputation) connected with science and polite literature ; and that a library had also been collected, which consisted of 1,100 volumes, of which number 642 had been presented to the Institution by subscribers. _ The Report further proceeded to state that educational classes had been established, to which the members of the Institution were to be admitted, free of expense—that a conversazione had taken place, which had given great satic faction—that similar sources of • intellectual enjoyment would be opened to the subscribers in the course of the en suing season ; and that,indeed,every means had been taken, and would be persevered in, by the Committee, to make the Institution worthy of the support, and deserving the patronage of all those who took an interest in its welfare, and who were solicitious for the advancement of literary and scientific knowledge. The Report concluded by a well-merited eulogium on the President, who, by his coun tenance, and contributions of money and books, had mate rially assisted in placing the Institution upon its present permanent foundation. The accounts of the Institution were then read, from which it appeared that the present state of the funds was most favourable. The Report, which gave great satisfaction, was, upon the motion of Mr. STAMPORD, received and adopted unani mously. Some routine business was then proceeded with, a Libra rian was elected, and thanks having been given to the Chairman, the meeting separated. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS AT LIVERPOOL, JULY 19.

Day, of Lorraine county, Ohio:-- " Dear Sir,—l perceive by the Louisville Public Advertiser that you have a thousand more females than males in your town, and of course you have some girls that would make good wives, and lam in want of one. lam thirty-two years old, of middling size, of decent appearance, of a good education for a backwoodsman, own a good farm, With improvements sufficient to support a small family, and have a good crop of wheat on the ground. lam a good-natured man, of a good moral character, and in good credit ; and if yOu can send me a good girl, not over twenty-five years of age, I will pay all expenses, receive her thankfully, and use her well, and thank you, dear Sir, a thousand times besides, for there are no girls in this place, and my business is such that I cannot leave to find one." Yesterday afternoon, between two and three o'clock, a serious accid en t occurre d on t h e L on d o n and Birmi▪ ngham Railroad, Ch a lk-f arm , near t h e H am p s tead-road, whi▪ ch had nearly proved fatal to t wo gen tl em en who were passing over the line of 'works, in their gig, to Chalk-farm Tavern. There were eight tram-waggons laden with earth, each containin g nearly three tons w e i g ht, linked together. The gig had not crossed the road, on the tavern side, before the waggons were set off: before it was possible to stop them the horse was knocked down and the gig in . stantlyoverset, and b o th gentle men were precipitated out:if?t, providen tially fallin g i n a con trary direction to the train , otherwise they must have been crushed to _atoms; both fore -legs of the horse were severed from the body, and the animal, a v a l ua bl e one, was imme diately afterwards killed. The road leading over the bridge to Chalk. Farm Tavern is, for the present, particularly dan gerous; on i acc ount of the rapidity with whi c h t h e trams travel along the iron g rooves. . FEMALE Swiss Co ST UM E.—The following morn ing I proceeded to Stantz, the capital of the other Unter walden, before breakfast. I bad met, higher in the valley, a diminutive of the Schwytz c a p a l rea d y m e nt i one d , b ut h ere the costume was entir e ly c h ange d ; the girls having the hair clubbed behind, and decorated with red ribbons, while the matrons had the club ornamented with white rosettes. Many of the latter seemed to have literally pulled their hair out by the roots, in the effort to draw it tightly back into this club, or ball. I saw four, who had certainly not one hundred fibres left among them all, and one was actually bald, with the exception o f th e b ac k o f t h e h ea d , w h ere there was a dirty rosette, attached to some down. A few wore flat straw hats also, and I still saw one or two of the cocks' combs. The guide was of opinion that the frost had killed the hair at roots, in the case o f b a ld l a di es !—C ooper ' s E xcurs i ons i n Switzerland. • OATHS —Many natives of Scotland, who happen to reside in England or Ireland, feel aggrieved when required to take an oath in the English form, by kissing the book, in stead of the Scots form, by raising the right hand. The subject was recently brought before Government, and a Bill for the relief of all Presbyterians who conscientiously desire to be sworn according to the Scots form will shortly be intro duced. A question has lately risen on this point in Ireland, which has been referred to the twelve Judges. Quakers and Moravians are eligible witnesses in all cases upon solemn affirmation, by the Act of 18.33. THE BRITISH LEGION IN SPAIN. (From the Madrid Correspondence of a Morning Contem porary.) In several of the articles I have read in the London pa pers of the latter end of last month it is sought to convey the idea that there is in Spain a general feeling of hostility against the British Legion ; that it is viewed with jealousy, and that its reverses would be agreeable intelligence to the Spaniards. This is a most misiakea notion. The welcome given to the Legion by the whole of Spain was of the heartiest and most sincere description ; itt; successes have been uniformly hailed with delight ; and the opinion enter tained of its military prowess is as flattering as aey Eng lishman could desire. By many it is considered as the main prop oF the Queen's cause, and all seem to look upem it as that part of the army upon which most reliance mav be placed for fidelity and unquestionable efficiency in the field, If jealousy exist anywhere, and I am far from meaning to deny its existence—it is of an isolated character. The na tional sentiment is not chargeable with it. After the action of the sth of May the popular voice re ferred to Evans as Commander-in-Chief, and had that Ge neral been enabled to follow up the success of that day by active measures, gaining further triumphs, the Government would have been forced, whether its inclinations concurred or not, to offer him the command in chief. It is still the favourite project with many Spaniards. The early history of the Legion in Spain is a melancholy one. It was neglected by the Government, and fell into the lowest state of poverty and distress. Containing in itself many elements of disorder and disease, these were ra pidly brought to maturity by irregularity or rather stoppage of their pay, their scanty and often pernicious food, the im perfect means placed at their disposal for procuring commis sariat, hospital, and other stores. This state of things was ag gravated by drunkennes s and excesses of various descriptions, not unnatural under such circumstances in a corps composed as this was, and a species of plague broke out amongst them. Candour,indeed, compels the admission that the Legion, more by the fault of others than their own, were on the point of be coming a disgrace to the British name. The acts of a few , individuals, the ragged condition of great numbers, and, above all, the wild and uncouth appearance, and equally wild and uncouth conduct of the shoals of women who hadl been permitted to embark with the Legion, gave currency to various stories and calumnious reports, which, communi cated in letters from the inhabitants of Vittoria, and re peated in conversation, gradually combined to throw the whole corps into a growing state of discredit. The General complained bitterly of the treatment of the Legion, and forwarded remonstrances to the Minister of the violation of all the engagements contracted with it ; but Senor Mendizabal was himself surrounded with difficulties, and driven to every description of shift to procure money, and was able but very imperfectly and very irregularly to supply the necessary and stipulated funds. He aggravated the evil by promises, which he no doubt hoped to fulfil, but which, when broken, exasperated the disappointment of the unfortunate men, who found themselves in a foreign land, neglected, starving, in rags, and visited by a tre mendous epidemic. All the blame of this state of things must not he laid upon the Spanish Government. There were faults on both sides. The most was not made of the supplies of all kinds sent from various quarters to the Legion. Scenes of robbery and confusion took place which baffle description. Stores have in many instances been utterly sacrificed, and there is reason to believe that even some of the legionary stores found their way into the enemies' hands. When, therefore, the Legion demanded more money and more supplies, it was natural to ask for an account of what had been done with the money already paid, and with the supplies already furnished. The Legion has not yet been able to render such an account. Neither Senor Mendizabal's Government, nor the present, has yet received a single figure of account from the Legion ; and at this moment there is a dispute as to whether the Go vernment is in debt to the Legion, or the Legion in- debt to the Government. The fault in this matter attaches to every responsible officer of the Legion, from the General in-Chief downwards. The rule of the Legion seems to have been hitherto, that accounts were troublesome and unnecessary. It was probably not foreseen that the day would arrive when, presenting itself to the Government as a creditor, the absence of a clear account, establishing the claim, would be made the plea for postponing its liqui dation. When a debtor is known to be in straits end driven to shifts and expediencies to keep up appearances, a clear indisputable account is more than ever necessary. Senor Mendizbal did not hesitate to urge the absence of an account when pressed upon the subject of money and supplies. The British Minister here, insisting upon the necessitous state of the Legion, prevailed upon the Government to make every effort to forward them money and supplies, and at the same time to consent, that whilst the investigation of the accounts was proceeded with, a new starting point should be taken from a fixed day, better accounts and greater regularity being observed on both sides for the future. This agreement was made with Senor Mendizabal by Brigadier-General M.Dougall and Col. Wylde, the British Commissioners, who were sent up from the legion to Madrid with that object. Senor Mendizabal did not keep the engagement ; neither were the terms of it strictly adhered to by the Legion. Previous to Senor Mendizabars leaving office, a mate rial change for tho better had taken place in the con diton of the Legion. The disease to whose ravages it had been so long a prey had considerably abated, and at the pressing instance of Mr. Villiers, the Legion was removed from the idleness, destitution, and local jealousies of Vit.:- toria, to the coast. Here it entered upon a new career. The day of its departure from Vittoria was, as it were, the day of its regeneration. The presence of the enemy, with the consciousness that they were upon independent ground, left to their own guidance, and secure of wearing the laurels they might gather, seem to have operated a miraculous change upon the minds of the men. They seem suddenly to have recollected that they were Britons, and that they owed something to the character of their country, if not to their own, and they formed the resolution of wiping away at a blow a long arrear of reproach the justice of which they could not altogether deny, although they might complain of the ungenerous severity with which it was urged. The con duct of tho Legion from this point is fresh in all minds, and needs no comment. Mr. Villiers had been from the first the steady and powerful friend of the Legion, but in no instance has he employed the influence he possesses with the Government and Cordova so beneficially as in procuring for them a sphere of independent exertion, and the benefit was nut clearer for the Legion than the advantage accruing to the cause of the Government ; for, with the main body of the army acting under Cordova's plan of blockade, the Legion was more than useless ; while, taking the coast for a basis, it was able to act upon the rear of the enemy in a most formidable manner, without changing or disturbing the system which the Commander-in -Chief had adopted ; and had General Evans had a stronger force, whether of Spanish or English, the results obtained from the plan would hive bean by far the most useful of the whole war. The want of additional force was very early felt by Gene ral Evans. He applied for 2,000 men. The British Mini ster in Madrid, in spite of the reluctance of Cordova to part with his troops, and of the Government really having none at their disposal, procured him 5,000 men, including recruits. Even yet lie has not enough ; and there is no doubt that, for any apparent good the troops now with the Commander-in-Chief are of, that he might spare more, or s a u t least cildv t e h r a s t i n somecombined caused a as would moveme ntrender se force itde , a s u ffind .. cient for its object. M. Isturiz came into the Government ten days after the brilliant action of the Legion before St. Sebastian. The Legion was still distressed for money, threatened with an im mediate cessat i on o f supp li es, and at the same time crying out for reinforcements. M. Isturiz has scarcely been in the Government two months, under circumstances, perhaps, the most difficult under which a public man ever took office, and the Legion is now better supplied with money than it ever has been. Arrangements have been made for its re gular payments, and, from M. Isturiz's well known punc tuality in the performance of his promises, there is ample reason to believe that these engagements will be met. The supplies are also placed upon a regular footing, and no ex ertion has been spared for reinforcing the Legion. It is true that all these results have not been obtained without difficulty, that it has been necessary in M. Isturiz's situation, embar rassed as he is by a multitude of rival claims, all paramount in their way, for his mind to be fully impressed with the im portance of the Legion to his cause, and with the gratitude that Spain owes to a people who have so generously come forward in her defence, together with various other power ful arguments that have no doubt been urged upon him. Thus, while the Government of M. Isturiz has in point of fact paid a more ready and efficient attention to the Le gion than had ever been previously done, it unfortunately happened that the distress for want of provisions, and the stoppage o f pay, and the bitter disappointment arising out of broken promises, were all at their height during the first weeks of an unparalleled difficult administration, utterly destitute of money, and scarcely possessing any credit. These circumstances, though they ought not to have pre vented, or perhaps even to have abated, the demands of General Evans for immediate redress, contained in the let ter to M. Isturiz, of which so much has been said, greatly relieve the present Spanish Government from the burden of blame. With regard to the return of General Evans to England with the Legion, so frequently asserted in the London newspapers, it is a project that has never been entertained by that officer. It is not true, as asserted in the Courier of the 29th June, that General Evans intimated to the Spanish Government that, if his remonstrances Were not attended to, he might be forced to claim the protection of his Government, with a view to the return of the Legion to his own country. General Evans, among the arguments he would use to _show the necessity of attending to the claims of the Lezion. would point-out that tha _r
